IIRC, libc6 doesn't support IPv6; you need a beta version for that. So this is only an issue if we intend to release one of the libc6.1 using ports.
glibc 2.1 (2.0.9x until release) does not change the soname, symbol versioning prevents that from being necessary (in theory at least). alpha has libc6.1, but that is due to the fact that its original libc was glibc 1.99, which claims to be libc6, but is incompatible with glibc 2.0.x.
